Usage

  • The input values can be positive or negative.

  • If you execute on an input that is already floating point, the output values will remain the same as the input values.

  • If the input is a multiband raster, the output will be a multiband raster. The tool will perform the operation on each band in the input.

  • If the input is multidimensional raster data, all slices from all variables will be processed. The output will be a multidimensional raster in CRF format.

Parameters

LabelExplanationData Type
Input raster or constant value

The input raster to be converted to floating point.

To use a number as an input for this parameter, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment.

NameExplanationData Type
in_raster_or_constant

The input raster to be converted to floating point.

To use a number as an input for this parameter, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment.
